I don't understand what you exactly mean with "loading the default engine by using the command 'select new engine'...". It depends on which Wb2Uci.eng you're using for the King engine in Fritz: A) Advanced method (look at Engines.txt in Wb2Uci zip file of Odd Gunnar Malin) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Create The King 3.23 as adapted UCI engine in Fritz - based on the following Wb2Uci.eng: [ENGINE] Name=CM 9000 Author=Johan de Koning Filename=Wb2Uci.exe [OPTIONS] Program=c:\Program Files\Ubi Soft\Chessmaster 9000\TheKing.exe <individual path !> InitString=cm_parm default\ncm_parm opk=123456 HashCommand=cm_parm tts=%i004096 ShowThinkingMove=true ;Logfile=true Visible=Ponder,Hash,ShowThinkingMove,Logfile,Extras [EXTRAS] Opponents Pawn (opp)=cm_parm opp=%i|spin|100|0|4500 Opponents Knight (opn)=cm_parm opn=%i|spin|100|0|1500 Opponents Bishop (opb)=cm_parm opb=%i|spin|100|0|1500 Opponents Rook (opr)=cm_parm opr=%i|spin|100|0|900 Opponents Queen (opq)=cm_parm opq=%i|spin|100|0|498 Kings Pawn (myp)=cm_parm myp=%i|spin|100|0|4500 Kings Knight (myn)=cm_parm myn=%i|spin|100|0|1500 Kings Bishop (myb)=cm_parm myb=%i|spin|100|0|1500 Kings Rook (myr)=cm_parm myr=%i|spin|100|0|900 Kings Queen (myq)=cm_parm myq=%i|spin|100|0|498 Opponents Centre Control (opcc)=cm_parm opcc=%i|spin|100|0|600 Opponents Mobility (opmob)=cm_parm opmob=%i|spin|100|0|600 Opponents King Safety (opks)=cm_parm opks=%i|spin|100|0|600 Opponents Passed Pawn (oppp)=cm_parm oppp=%i|spin|100|0|600 Opponents Pawn Weakness (oppw)=cm_parm oppw=%i|spin|100|0|600 Kings Centre Control (mycc)=cm_parm mycc=%i|spin|100|0|600 Kings Mobility (mymob)=cm_parm mymob=%i|spin|100|0|600 Kings King Safety (myks)=cm_parm myks=%i|spin|100|0|600 Kings Passed Pawn (mypp)=cm_parm mypp=%i|spin|100|0|600 Kings Pawn Weakness (mypw)=cm_parm mypw=%i|spin|100|0|600 Contempt (cfd)=cm_parm cfd=%i|spin|0|-500|500 Strength (sop)=cm_parm sop=%i|spin|100|0|100 Attack Defend (avd)=cm_parm avd=%i|spin|0|-100|100 Randomness (rnd)=cm_parm rnd=%i|spin|0|0|100 Selective Search (sel)=cm_parm sel=%i|spin|9|0|16 Max Depth (md)=cm_parm md=%i|spin|999|0|999 Now define another UCI engine in Fritz - let's say with the CM9_Utz12n settings: 1.) menue "Engine | Create UCI Engine ..." 2.) with the button "Browse" go to your folder with the above mentioned Wb2Uci.eng and choose the file "Wb2Uci.exe" 3. after loading process press the button "Parameter..." and modify in the following window "Engine Parameters:..." the values to those of CM9_Utz12n (myq=101, cc=102, mob=102, sel=12), then press "Save" and "OK" 4. in the window "Setup UCI engine" now change the engine name (in the line "Name:") to "CM 9000_Utz12n", then press "OK" Now it's a new UCI engine "CM 9000_Utz12n" defined which you can select in Fritz with "F3". B) Pre Setup method (of Odd Gunnar Malin) ----------------------------------------- Create The King 3.23 as adapted UCI engine in Fritz - based on the following Wb2Uci.eng: [ENGINE] Name=CM 9000 Author=Johan de Koning Filename=Wb2Uci.exe [OPTIONS] Program=c:\Program Files\Ubi Soft\Chessmaster 9000\TheKing.exe <individual path !> InitString=cm_parm default\ncm_parm opk=123456 HashCommand=cm_parm tts=%i004096 ShowThinkingMove=true ;Logfile=true Visible=Ponder,Hash,ShowThinkingMove,Logfile,Extras [EXTRAS] Personality=<readfile>|combo|Default|Default|CM9_Utz12n For selecting pre-defined personalities/settings (in this case "Default" and "CM9_Utz12n") create txt files (in the same folder as Wb2Uci.eng) a) Default.txt: ;---- Default.txt ; Chessmaster 9000 Default personality cm_parm opp=100 opn=100 opb=100 opr=100 opq=100 cm_parm myp=100 myn=100 myb=100 myr=100 myq=100 cm_parm mycc=100 mymob=100 myks=100 mypp=100 mypw=100 cm_parm opcc=100 opmob=100 opks=100 oppp=100 oppw=100 cm_parm cfd=0 sop=100 avd=0 rnd=0 sel=9 md=99 ;--- File end b) CM9_Utz12n.txt: ;---- CM9_Utz12n.txt ; A CM 9000 personality created by Kurt Utzinger, SWZ cm_parm opp=100 opn=100 opb=100 opr=100 opq=100 cm_parm myp=100 myn=100 myb=100 myr=100 myq=101 cm_parm cc=102 mob=102 ks=100 pp=100 pw=100 cm_parm cfd=0 sop=100 avd=0 rnd=0 sel=12 md=99 ;---- File end To switch between these settings/personalities in Fritz do the following: Right mouse click in window "Main engine Pain", select "Properties"; in the following window "Engine parameters: ..." now you can switch between (King-)Default and CM9_Utz12n. Important: Switching between the King settings with F3 (change main engine) and button "Engine parameters" will be without effect: The King engine then will always play with the Default settings.
